Torquay seafront has been closed as water is coming over the sea wall and into the road.

Torbay Council has implemented the closure in response to an earlier flood warning that has issued by the Environment Agency.

The warning, issued on Wednesday lunchtime, says that flooding is possible from high tide on Wednesday evening until Sunday for the South Devon Coast from Start Point to Dawlish Warren.
